A Woven Dress Called Haze
This newest pattern is another woven dress for the store. Woven dresses have never been the “Sofiona thing”, but every once in awhile we get in the mood for a dress. This one was inspired by linen...
Such a Cute Cloudberry Collection
We don't often have (take) the time to work on extra projects. The time it takes just to work on the ideas in our heads is non-existent so we rarely feel like shifting focus. But as we are coming close to 10,000 members in our Sofiona Sewing Group on Facebook, we did feel like doing… Continue reading Such a Cute Cloudberry Collection
Miss Tamarack: I said “no” first
I said no every time someone asked me if the Tamarack tights would be moved into the junior miss size chart. And I meant it, actually. I didn't think I could do it, to be honest, and yet here we are and I feel like our first foray into junior miss tights is making me feel more confident.

Miss Aspen for the Junior Misses
When I got a message from one mom in particular who thanked me for a pattern that brought a smile to her teen’s face, I wanted to make this happen for more of these girls.
Miss Dandelion Got a Few Extra Perks
The Dandelion recently had new life breathed into it with the Aspen Romper add-on and I realized that this was one pattern I wanted to extend into the next size range.
To Fight or Not to Fight
To answer this question without, is asking me for lip service and memes. And while lip service and memes seem to be what we're comfortable with in today's world, it also appears incredibly disingenuous. "Quick! Slap a meme up or they'll think you do/don't agree!" That's not me...
